One of the quickest and most convenient ways to get around downtown London is to take the train in to Fulham Station and then commission the services of a car hire company for personal transport where you need to go. With this being such a useful and common practice, many of the car hire companies surrounding Fulham Station even provide rates for car hire by the hour instead of just by the day.

There are many of the big international car hire companies conveniently located near the station. Avis Rent-a-car even offers vehicles with GPS navigation for those not as yet familiar with the area. Their rentals are not limited to just the city area but are available for long-term, long trips as well. You can find representatives from Hertz, Alamo, National, and Budget Rent-a-car also in close proximity to the Fulham Station. Most will provide pickup at the Station to bring you to their offices so you don’t have to spend time walking to your car hire.

Among other local and specialized car hire businesses around Fulham Station, you might need Van Hire London, which provides larger vehicles for use in moving freight as well as passengers around. London Traffic Cars gives you the option of renting a car for hire to drive yourself or you may take advantage of their taxi service as well.

It should be noted, especially for foreign or out of town visitors, that many areas of the city have a “Congestion Fee” that must be paid for any vehicle travelling in that area. Some of the Fulham car hire companies have arrangements that will automatically include this in your rental fee while others do not. Always remember to check with the car hire representative to know if you are already covered or need to add that expense to your budget for the car hire.
